SCIENCE CENTER OPERATIONS NEWS
Math Office 308 and classrooms 309 and 310 are undergoing reno-
vations and will be completed by January 15th. Along with the new
look we will be addressing a few infrastructure issues by cleaning
up the power supply within the spaces and improved HVAC. The
new look will be very similar to the latest renovations in 216 and
B10. New carpet, LED lighting and finishes throughout all of these
spaces. However, due to the tight schedule we will not be able to
install the new furniture until sometime just before the spring
break.
Though Science Center offices and the main entry doors to the Science Center will be closed over the winter
break—Dec. 24 through Jan. 3rd—renovation projects are underway and will resume through the break.
Before you leave for the holiday break, Please close your office windows, unplug equipment that does not need
to operate, and turn off lights. Custodians will check and turn off power in all offices.
Let the Renovations Continue
The Harvard University Police Department will conduct an
Active Shooter Safety Guidelines Presentation at the Science
Center in the Spring. The date and time are to be deter-
mined. Building Operations will send an invitation to all Sci-
ence Center departments. Click on the file to the right to
view the guidelines.

Q & A
How long have you been working at Harvard and at the
Science Center?
I have been at Harvard for ten years and at the Science Center for
three years.
What is your favorite achievement while working at the
Science Center?
I like being part of a team of three or four and working on large
projects like steam shampooing the lecture halls and floor stripping
and polishing. It is great to see the difference before and after.
Out of work, what are your favorite hobbies or accom-
plishments?
I enjoy keeping busy with projections around my home, espe-
cially working in the yard. I like to take family trips to parks and go
to malls.
